About us:
We're Jack & Megan, and in late 2020 we sold our belongings and packed our lives into our 2005 Toyota Troop Carrier to travel Australia. Our original plan was to complete a full lap of Australia and return home to Perth to resume our 'normal' lives. We decided we wanted to document our lap for the future and began sharing weekly travel vlogs of our life on the road and fell in love vlogging, filmmaking and sharing our lives with you. We completed our first lap and couldn't imagine living any other way so we decided to continue travelling and calling the Troopy home. We have gone on some crazy adventures since then and it is all thanks to you tuning in to join us every week.
Such a fun episode - great vibe. And your drone footage just keeps getting better. I like the slow reveal of your aerial shots particularly one part when you driving on a straight road, the drone was flying high and behind and you pan up the shot to reveal the ocean in the background. Brilliant videography. 👍
That shot was pretty epic
Great choice of background music. Really upbeat and and uplifting. Gives a great vibe to the episode. And it looks like the Troopy is chucking a tantrum for being replaced by a van for a few days. 😁😁
Great to see that sparkle in your eyes and smiles on your faces getting back on the road again.
Great beaches, sand in your toes. That pier looked cool. Could people still swim over to the broken parts and climb up on them? At Rapids Beach ⛱ 😎
How's your dad's cruiser doing?
It's funny here in Florida it's 87 or 30 degrees celsius when other parts of the USA are covered in snow ❄ 🤔
As we go into spring/summer you all are going into fall / winter.
Nice to see you back in the troopy.
So did that comment mean you might be adding a Caravan behind the troopy in the near future? 🤔 "negging on the troopy " 😆
You two have troopy oil in your blood.👍❤🤙🌊🏝
Jack and Megan in South Australia! Yay! Glad Megan's tears are of joy.
So happy to be here! Thanks for watching Bert 🥰
Welcome to South Australia beautiful one day and perfect the next, love watching your channel.
Thanks so much Mervyn! 🥰
How absolutely gorgeous is SA 🥰 Hopefully we get some sunny days when we head over in the winter 🥶
as a south australian, i believe you have captured the state’s beauty perfectly. and the soundtrack gives your videos such an inspiring and uplifting feeling. my partner and i cannot wait to get on the road next month, i am completely inspired by you two. keeping my eyes open in case you pass through my town 🤩
Great video as usual this one really covered a lot of topics and the free wheeling spirits you two get up to.
What caught my eye was Jack's toolbox doing the running repairs.
Can you show us what you take in your toolbox and the spares you consider necessary in your travels.
Good to see you in my state Adelaide have a good time
Thanks for watching Robert! So stoked to be in SA!
... for good Troopy repair in Adelaide, go to Rolf‘s mechanical service at 11 Pasquin Street, an excellent Swiss mechanic, you find him on the internet under rms travel cars 😊
Great to see you're back in sunny warm land! You just gave me a nostalgic tour of where I used to live years ago. Awesome ❤
So good to be back in the sun! So glad we could share some memories 🥰🥰
Great video guys! Welcome back to SA! What a state 😍
Thanks so much guys! Hope you’re doing well 🫶🏼
Welcome to South Australia❤🇦🇺🦘
Thanks Gail! Happy to be here 🥰
For 1 week every 2 or 3 months book yourselves into accommodation it will do wonders for you.
Yes such useful advice! At the start of our travels we used to feel guilty for spending the money on accomodation but it really does do wonders for your mental health sometimes!
sunshine looks good, wouldn't mind me some of that 😂
Nice to have you back.
It's good to be back! Thanks for joining us Greg 😊
Epic video! I thought the worst during the intro clip, specially in regards to the troopy. Was that a Quarry next to the Rapid Bay campground? that place looked so good!
Did you guys send a drone into the clouds?! 😯 far out that was cool! How annoying is Victorian weather hey, everytime I go there its always overcast 🤣
There was a much more vocal music selection than you guys usually use, and I will admit, it was very fitting. Also a fair bit of singing from Jack as well hahahahah
i sooooo missed my sunday morning fix last week ... good to see ya back. i'm also a bit sad as i leave Tassie in a couple of days but it will be good to get back into MY ute ... so much more room ... no worrying about getting bogged ... so much more STUFF to make things better ... will be heading your way so thanks for the look at the spots to see along the way. :)
It’s good to be back! Ohh hope you had an amazing time in Tassie! Glad we could share some SA places for you to visit 🥰
Well done guys, thanks for sharing your travels, you bring the best place in the world to my day! I’m heading that way from the UK in November so hoping to see places to stop off.
Epic!!! ....and impossible with a Sprinter 4x4, keep the Troopy!😊
Welcome to SA 🤗
Thanks John! Happy to be here 😁
Another great video
So good to see both of you living and loving life 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thanks for joining us Mel 🧡
u know i been followig u guys since probably day one, and i say this alot, but this is my favourite from yas
Ohh that is wonderful to hear! We have really been trying hard with our story telling these past few episodes so we are so happy you enjoyed this one 🥰
Last woman I know who was obsessed with pickles was….. yep, you guessed it.
😂😂😂
If anyone is trying to locate it, its Port Willunga Beach caves
The editing and personalities is dynamite 🔥 These videos inspired me to go camping and travelling with a mate, what a blast. What a privilege it is to watch you two create memories that will last.
Oh that is so wonderful to hear! Thank you so much, we hope you have the best time out camping!
WOW , Rapid Bay ,, stunning !!! . Have fun in S.A guys 😍
How beautiful was it!! Thanks so much, we had a blast!
Jack, the tie rod end is super easy to replace, screw out the old one, screw in the new one. Just measure it all first and make sure it sits in the same location. ua-cam.com/video/FYYgfM_MxT4/v-deo.html
Wondering why Jack doesn't swim? 😂
Amazing video every video gets better and better 🥰
We found the same as you after getting back from Tasmania, lovely place but big temperature difference between there and the mainland. Great for you to be back on the mainland travelling again. We are coming over July for a month to do the Savanna Way and are really looking forward to it.
Good luck with the wheel bearing, I have found with our Troopy that when the wheel bearings need tightening the inner (big) bearing is packing up.
The Savanna Way will be amazing. A fantastic choice for a trip.
@@Malc664 thanks. We have done the tar seal route running parallel but not the unsealed one above of which we have done bits but not the whole route in one.
Always having so much fun watching you guy's video. It gives me motivation to go through current life situation. Nice video👍
Welcome to South Aus!!! So stocked to see you at rapid bay! Been wanting to take my kids there. Then port willunga! My local! Such a beautiful coast line I live on! Glad you loved it!
Great to have you back!! Oh how I wish we had nice warm sunny weather, instead we have another week of cold and snow to look forward to.🥶
It’s great to be back! Ohh snow is amazing too! We could only handle it for a week tops though 🤣
Love the sun, lol I am glad you’re back in it, ❤
Haha we are sooo happy to be back in it 🥹
Love the music!! We need a Jack and Megan Spotify play list !!!
Happy Happy Happy to see you both enjoying the sun.
🫶🏼🫶🏼
Im 7 minutes in and it just reminds me of country WA, soft white sand and a hundred kilometres of straight road. Sellecks was/is awesome, very different, By next week I think you'll be back in WA the way yr going
I have not been watching lately (sorry) but such a good episode. At least now I can binge ❤
You buys crack me up, a little ray of sunshine
Appreciate you Mark! 🙏🏼🫶🏼
Good to hear some excitement in your voices again, Good video guys. Just keep them coming
Thanks so much for joining us Barry! So happy to hear you enjoyed it 🥰
Thanks guys ❤️
Thanks for watching Kim! 🥰
🎥👍😍❤️ good luck Jack and Megan!!!
🫶🫶
I’d love to see you guys in a little bit more space, just for your comfort. We may see you on the road in SA!
Love watching you guys your vlogs are great
such a strange experience watching you camp 10 minutes from my place. We are very lucky to live at the beach. - Bon
Haha I thought the same thing when I was watching a Perth vlog the other day! Would love to live on the Fleurieu peninsula, it's so beautiful 😍
@@itsJackandMegan it’s weird isn’t it! The nature of vlogs. 😊
Im with you Megan, too long without the sun and Im miserable.....I think its the WA genes. Ive never seen the beaches you visited today. Awesome cliffs.
Haha yes definitely the WA genes!! Never going that long without a beautiful 35 degree day again 😂 the beaches were incredible! Might even rival WAs beaches 🫢🫢
Megan & Jack thanks for the video 👍👍👍
Thanks for joining us!
Go the Troopy love you guys your videos are awesome :)
Yieww thanks so much for watching mate!
Awesome channel - Love it ! 😀
Thanks so much Darren!
Lovely Ep guys,
Cheers Craig! Glad you enjoyed it 😁😁
I definitely think you need something a little bit Bigger (vehicle) 😉 so you can all fit in🇳🇿
Whats your fuel economy like and have you done any offroad tracks
Noice Vid ... One Day....
As a local I'm just wanting to let youtubers and instagramers know that the Fleurieu Peninsula beaches are horrible and you should not go there or your willy will shrivel up and drop off, head to West Beach caravan park instead. The End 😜
Hahaha *ahem* yes this is true, don’t go there people 🙅♀️🙅😂
Time for an upgrade, design the perfect 4WD Campervan and build two and I will buy the other one.
Definitely on our bucket list of things to do 🙊 just need to save a bit more for the 4WD!
So you guys swapping to van life ? 🤔
Nah like we said in the video we are more than happy in the troopy as long as we’re in warm weather 😎
@itsJackandMegan ya it can still get you further than a van but my god doesn't a van just spoil you
Great video, what drone do you use?
Thanks Steve! We are currently using the DJI Air2s ☺️
Not being biased, but how bloody awesome are Australian beaches❤️🔥 I’ve been yo a few countries and I that’s my opinion🌟
Another awesome edit and who cares how untamed you are Jack. Skin cancer is the biggest killer. I’m becoming as white as a ghost haha🤣🤣🤣
Do you have new latches on the tent, the original broke all the time.
Yes we got new latches! So far they are much better than the old ones 🙌🏼
Was that Canunda NP around the 4:30 mark?
Yeah it was ☺️
Buy a van and kit it out. You deserve the space. People follow for you guys not the troopy
Appreciate the kind words Greg! It’s definitely our end goal to fit out a 4WD van, just need to keep saving the pennies 😁
Sun Worshippers lol..
😂😂 not wrong there
